I get this Shhhhhhhh fairly loud. Not ass loud if I put it thru the 2x15 cab. The amp head has a 3 prong plug installed on it. Would this help putting it on the PA head which I plan on doing anyway or does something need replaced.
Not that it is an extreme issue. Once I plug my I pad in and get some jam tracks going into it it's not noticeable. Thought maybe there is a route I could take to tame it.
Would it hurt to disconnect the horns and just use the 3 10's in each PA Cab. I am thinking of replacing the top 10 in each cab with a 10" PA speaker with the tweeter or what ever it is called in so I still get the highs.
Amp will be used live. PA is just in my studio for home use. I like it a lot.
One other thing the reverb does not work could this contribute to this
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I am having an amp tech put cord in. He is an older gentleman that works on a lot of the old amps. Kustom, Fender, Marshall ect. I read several post on what to check. I'll have him do the check you stated. On my K200b1 head it is just noticeable the amp head is probably 2 1/2 times louder.
My under standing it is ok to disconnect the horn. I like the sounds when down low of the speakers but the horn adds like high mid range or something I don't care for
Thanks

Up date on PA Cabs. Took backs off and I think the horn was added. It was in a wood box with four screws holding it from back of cab they were flat head screws. Took them out and rewired cabs. Hiss is a fraction of what it was and they sound really nice now. You can see the bolts and the cut out where the other 12 inch speakers were takin' out.
Speakers are 8 ohm. I want to replace the one where I took horn out in each cab. Is there a particular speaker I would get. I know it needs to be a 12 inch 8 ohm. I was thinking a full range speaker. Or a bass speaker.
Thanks

Hope I was told right. I went from speaker jack hot of first speaker the went ground of first speaker to to hot of second speaker ground of second speaker to hot of 3rd speaker and ground of 3rd speaker to ground of speaker jack. Ran this for quite awhile seems fine and sounds nice. On speakers it says 8 ohms. My under standing this is series. My under standing this left the cabs at 8 ohms each and plugging both into the head would give you the 4 ohms.
Just using the system in my studio. Use a Keyboard, Mike and guitar into it. I'll run my iPad of Mac into it to play jam tracks to jam to.
Am looking into what I need to get to replace the speaker that was taken out to put it back to the 4x12 instead of 3x12.
Also went band comes over to practice I use it for vocals
Thanks

Thanks
Looks like the way I got the 3 wired is correct.
I'll use schematic when I hook up the 4 speakers as soon as I find what a replacement should be. Systems sounds real good. Been running it a lot today.
On the 200 series heads can use have an effects loop installed.
Again Thanks

Putting a effects loop in could be done,but since both the in and out jacks need to be buffered for the best sound,and are not you will get better results just going in after the guitar as normal and into the amps front end / preamp.
